Cats

A little bit about Manx Cats

The Manx cat is a genetic mutation. Females can produce kittens with either no tail, a stumpy tail or a full tail. A litter of full tailed kittens can go on to produce Manxies. It is not only the tail that is affected by the mutant gene but also the hind legs, which are longer than the front ones. However if you want the truth of how the Manxie came to have no tail, the Manx people blame Noah for trapping in the door, the tail of the last animal to board the ark, the cat.
